Cocoa isn't just the chocolaty goodness that makes our taste buds sing with happiness. Cocoa also has many benefits for our health and skin. 

Cocoa butter, also called theobroma oil, is a pale-yellow, edible vegetable fat extracted from the cocoa bean which Palmer's sustainably sourced from Ghana. Palmer's is a proud member of the World Cocoa Foundation. This foundation work for a sustainable and thriving cocoa sector – where farmers prosper, cocoa-growing communities are empowered, human rights are respected, and the environment is conserved.

Skin benefits of cocoa butter

Moisturizer
The high percentage of fatty acids in cocoa butter makes it easy to penetrate the skin deeply. It creates a protective barrier and locks moisture in. As a bonus, you can also use cocoa butter as a substitute for shaving creams.

Anti-aging 

Free radicals are highly unstable and reactive molecules that damage living cells and cause the skin to age. Cocoa butter contains a high amount of antioxidants including Oleic acid, Palmitic acid, and Stearic acid, which provide a layer of protection from free radicals and skin stressors.



Healing powers
Cocoa butter is packed with antioxidants, which help fight off free-radical damage to the skin and repairs it from the inside out.

Softer Lips
Cocoa butter helps moisturize and heal chapped lips.



Hair benefits

Cocoa butter does not only provide moisture for the skin, but it also helps nourish and soften the hair. This extremely nourishing butter penetrates deep into the scalp and heals it from inside out. It helps the follicles to grow new hair.
